Populism and Heritage in Europe explores popular discourses about
European and national heritage that are being used by specific
political actors to advance their agendas and to prevent minority
groups from being accepted into European society. Investigating
what kind of effect the politics of fear has on these notions of
heritage and identity, the book also examines what kind of impact
recent events and crises have had on the types of European memories
and identities that have been promoted by the supporters of
right-wing populist parties. Based on qualitative fieldwork
conducted in six countries, this book specifically analyses how
anti-European identities are being articulated by right-wing
populist individuals. Providing an analysis of the manifestos,
speeches and official documents of such parties, the book examines
how they instrumentalise xenophobia, Islamophobia, Euroscepticism,
globalisation and international trade in European spaces to
mobilise the masses hit by financial crisis and refugee crisis.
Drawing on in-depth interviews with the sympathisers of populist
movements, Kaya provides some insights into the main motivations of
these individuals in resorting to nativist and populist discourses,
whilst also providing a thorough analysis of the use of the past
and heritage by such parties and their followers. Populism and
Heritage provides a unique insight into one of the most contested
trends of the contemporary age. As such, the book should be of
great interest to those working in the fields of heritage studies,
cultural studies, politics, sociology, anthropology, philosophy and
history.
